SymbolMessageDescription
-Cruise control Cancel- ledACC has been automatically switched off. The driver has to regulate the vehicle’s speed/distance to the vehicle ahead.
-Cruise control Unavail- ableACC cannot be put in active mode. This may be due to: • high brake temperature
• the radar sensor is obstructed (by heavy rain, snow, etc.)
Radar blocked See manualACC has been temporarily disconnected because the radar is obstructed in some way and cannot detect other vehicles. In this situation, the driver can switch to standard cruise control, see page 149See page 151 for information on the radar sensor’s limitations.
-Cruise control Service requiredACC is not functioning. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
-Press Brake To hold +
an audible signalThe vehicle is at a standstill and ACC will release the brakes before the parking brake engages to keep the vehicle stopped but a problem with the parking brake means that the vehicle may begin to roll. The driver will have to apply the brakes. The message will remain in the display and the audible signal will continue until the driver applies the brakes or presses the accelerator pedal.
-Below 30 km/h Only followingThis is displayed if you try to activate ACC at speeds below approx. 18 mph (30 km/h) without a vehicle ahead within range (approx. 100 ft/30 meters).

Distance Alert*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.155
Introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informa-tion about the time interval to the vehicleahead. Distance Alert is active at speeds above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time inter-val information is only given for a vehicle thatis driving ahead of your vehicle in the samedirection. No information is provided for vehi-cles driving toward you, moving very slowly,or at a standstill.
Amber warning light 1
.
An amber warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to theone ahead than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive CruiseControl is in standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.
Operation
Press the button in the center instrument panel to switch this function on or off. Theindicator light in the button illuminates whenthe function is on. Depending on the optional equipmentselected, there may not be room for a Dis-tance Alert button in the center console. Inthis case, the function is controlled throughthe menu system. Press

Distance Alert*

156* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Five different time intervals can be selected and areshown in the display as 1–5horizontal bars. The greaterthe number of bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents approximately
1 second to the vehicle ahead; 5 bars isapproximately 3 seconds.
NOTE
• The higher your vehicle’s speed, the greater the distance to the vehicleahead, measured in feet (meters), for agiven time interval.
• The set time interval is also used byAdaptive Cruise Control, seepage 146.
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
Limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-lision Warning system. See page 151 for
more information on the radar sensor’s limita-tions.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead maymake the visual warning signal in the wind-shield difficult to see.
WARNING
• Bad weather or winding roads may affect the radar sensor’s capacity todetect vehicles ahead.
• The size of the vehicle ahead, such asa motorcycle, may also make it difficultto detect. This may result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter dis-tance than the one that has been set,or that the light will not come on at all.

Collision warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection*

166* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Settings are made by pressing MY CAR on
the center console control panel and using the menus displayed.
Activating/deactivating both warning
signals
To switch Collision Warning's audible and
visual signals on or off at the same time,
press MY CAR on the center console control
panel and go to

Warning. If Collision Warning is on, the sys-
tem will perform a self-test each time the engine is started by briefly illuminating thewarning light. See page 197 for a descriptionof the menu system. When the engine is switched on, the Collision Warning setting that was being used when itwas switched off will be the default setting.
NOTE
The auto-brake and pedestrian detection features are always on, even if the audibleand visual warning signals have beendeactivated.
Activating/deactivating the audible warning signal only
The audible warning signal can be activated/ deactivated by pressing MY CAR on the cen-
ter console control panel and going to

systems
Warning sound if risk of
collision.
Setting a warning distanceThis setting determines the distance at which the visual and audible warnings are triggered. Select
Long, Normal or Short by pressing
MY CAR on the center console control panel
and going to
SettingsCar settings
Driver support systemsCollision
Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the level of sensitivity used by the system. The warning distance
Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to Normal.
WARNING
• The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and moving at low speeds.
• Collision Warning alerts the driver tothe risk of a collision but this functioncannot reduce the driver’s reactiontime.
• For Collision Warning to be as effec-tive as possible, it is recommendedthat Distance Alert be set to 4 or 5, seepage 155.
NOTE
•When Adaptive Cruise Control is used, the warning light and signal will beused by that function, even if thewarnings provided by Collision Warn-ing have been deactivated by thedriver.
• In situations where traffic is moving atconsiderably different speeds, or if thevehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-ings may be considered to be late, even if the setting
Long has been
selected.
Checking settingsThe current Collision Warning settings can be checked by pressing MY CAR on the center

Maintenance
Camera and radar sensor
1
.
In order to function properly, the camera and laser sensor must be kept clean. Dirt, ice,snow, etc., will reduce the function of thesecomponents. Remove ice and snow when necessary and wash these areas regularly with a suitable carwashing liquid.
Limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead may makethe visual warning signal in the windshield dif-ficult to see. For this reason, always activatethe audible warning signal. Slippery driving conditions increase braking distance, which can reduce the system'scapacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-tions, the ABS and DSTC systems providethe best possible braking effect while helpingto maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be tempo- rarily disengaged in the event of high pas-senger compartment temperature due tostrong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, theaudible warning signal will be used, even ifit has been deactivated in the menu sys-tem.
WARNING
• In certain situations, the system can- not provide warnings or warnings maybe delayed if traffic conditions or otherexternal factors make it impossible forthe radar sensor or camera to detect apedestrian or a vehicle ahead.
• Warnings may not be provided if thedistance to the vehicle ahead is short,or if movements of the steering wheel/brake pedal are great, such as duringactive driving.
• The sensor system has a limited rangefor pedestrians and provides warningsand braking effect most effectively atspeeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). Forstationary or slow-moving vehicles, thesystem functions best if your vehicle’sspeed is below approximately 45 mph(70 km/h).
• Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles may not be provided indark conditions or in poor visibility.
The Collision Warning system uses the same radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. Formore information on the radar sensor and itslimitations, see page 151.
